Permanently destroying Russia and Vladimir Putin is not a realistic or desirable goal in the current international context. However, Ukraine can take steps to defend itself and weaken the influence of the Putin government, ensuring its own sovereignty and stability. Here are some strategies Ukraine might consider:
Strengthening National Defense:
Military Modernization: Continue modernization and professionalization of the Ukrainian armed forces with the support of international allies, including the acquisition of advanced military technology.
Training and Strategy: Improve troop training and develop asymmetric defense strategies that can effectively confront a larger and better equipped enemy.
International Support:
Strategic Alliances: Strengthen alliances with Western countries and organizations such as NATO and the EU, seeking military, economic, and diplomatic assistance.
Sanctions: Work with international allies to maintain and strengthen sanctions against Russia, weakening its economy and military capability.
Domestic Reforms:
Fighting Corruption: Implementing domestic reforms to combat corruption and strengthen democratic institutions, increasing domestic resilience and the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government.
Economic Development: Fostering economic growth through investment- and innovation-friendly policies, decreasing economic dependence on Russia, and increasing domestic stability.
Information Warfare:
Counter-Propaganda: Countering Russian propaganda with truthful and transparent information campaigns, using local and international media to tell the Ukrainian story and expose the actions of the Putin regime.
Cybersecurity: Strengthening cyber defenses to protect critical infrastructure and counter Russian cyber attacks.
Diplomacy and Human Rights:
Supporting Human Rights: Denouncing Russian human rights violations in international forums, increasing diplomatic pressure and isolating Russia in the international community.
Mediation and Dialogue: Participate in mediation and dialogue processes facilitated by international bodies to seek peaceful and sustainable solutions to the conflict.
Social and Political Resilience:
National Cohesion: Foster unity and social cohesion within Ukraine, strengthening the sense of national identity and resistance against external aggression.
Participatory Democracy: Promote citizen participation in decision-making and strengthen democratic institutions to ensure that the government reflects the aspirations of the Ukrainian people.
These strategies not only help defend Ukraine's sovereignty, but also contribute to weakening the influence of Putin's government in a sustainable and ethical manner. The main objective must be to ensure Ukraine's security, stability and prosperity, while promoting an international order based on respect for human rights and national sovereignty.
America should have no part in this war.
Russia is hammering the Abrams and the F16 will be there too. 😂😂😂
GAMECHANGER 😂😂
Eide didn't answer the question about "TIME LINE" after being asked more than once so really had NOTHING to say.
bla bla bla after 3 weeks still nothing….. not a surprise!
NATO has the might to help Ukraine defeat Russia in Ukraine if they would including with troops to win within 6 months,and save so many civilian lives,and defeat evil in Ukraine but the foreign minister wants to drag the war on. Thats the stupid mentality NATO has. If the foreign minister was a soldier fighting in Ukraine. Wouldn't make such a stupid statement. In the war for the long run. NATO says they stand for democracy but they have no balls to go all in to make sure putin is defeated now. They act like scared children. In WW2 we had real leaders to fight evil. Putin has already attacked NATO countries that supposedly supports democracy already,and didn't send a bomb back to Russia.
The foreign minister called Trump the president which he isn't. What,and idiot foreign minister.
I see CNN is still a comical source of misinformation
A country should not invade another country, especially that country did not do anything!
Кошмар пилотов РФ это ф 16 в Украине! 😂
why the war ?
Ah, the mysterious phantom faeries of the forest….oh? We're talking about F-16s? Never mind, same thing. Always promised never to be seen.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
F16 is over forty years old Real cutting edge
well trump said he will end elections and be dictator on day 1 im surprise for weak reaction no other candidate have proposed something like this
This administration is heading us to war
❤ we defend the oppressed
Uhhhhh
CIA cnn don’t believe crap they say just wanted to see what they are pushing
Why don’t we give him Biden night as well what else they need mres our troops let them have the president of the demoncrats I’m sure his mind is stable enough to go into battle
Sometimes the media do not care or way too ignorant of ops security to prevent needless deaths. The ex-Soviet Union is way into ops security where you only know they are hitting you only when they start to hit your comms, command & control nodes + logistics hubs "suddenly". Current Russia not so much fortunately.
Those are small numbers of F16s. HEARING THEM SAY THAT UKRAINE WILL GET 360 F16s would sound better, but the world still does not want to stand up to the Russian bully.
2025 NATO project will be complete i think
Ukraine can not winn this war with this slow and insufficient weapon donations and
restrictions on how they must use the weapons
THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT MANY TIMES ; "underway" , ha, ha, ha
Anyway those F16 can not do much if they are not armed with long range
air to air missiles ! Also they must be able to cooperate with the AWACs
because the radar of those aging F16s does not reach far ! The AWACs must handle the missiles
after they left radar range of the F16s—– This is complicated
THIS SUMMER is almost half over!
She asks him how long it will take: "years?…". What the heck???
F-16 fighter jets are heading to Ukraine, just as is the Andromeda galaxy, and will arrive at about the same time.
And of Course our inept Canadian so called leader True-Duh is to busy allowing immigrant's in by the thousands monthly and giving all employer's a good money incentive to hire them from under Born Canadian's feet
We spend our tax payers money on Ukraine
An opportunity for " volunteers" to fly F16 operations within Ukraine with Ukrainian markings. Just like the Soviets reportedly permitted volunteer pilots during Yom Kippur Israeli war to fly MIGs over Egypt, Jordan, Syria etc with local markings. Subterfuge equations are fun realities 😅
After so much sanctions on Russia.Russian currency is still the best performing in the whole European countries. I feel bad for European countries how America trapped them all 😂 and look their economy and security.. All of them now depended on USA
Took The EU long enough , after all Ukraine is @ the forefront of Russia's attack on Europe.
